SB 01 - MNA Bulletin (2005)

The purpose of this bulletin is to describe the practical aspects of managing a monitored natural attenuation (MNA) scheme at a site on the Chalk aquifer and particularly focuses on the roles of the various stakeholders. A petrol leakage from an underground storage tank occurred at the site which resulted in groundwater contamination of the underlying Chalk aquifer with the need to manage the groundwater contamination. MNA has formed an integral part of the overall management strategy for contamination at the site.

SB 02 - SIReN (MNA) overview and description of projects (2005)

SIReN was a national initiative for research into Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA) under UK conditions. This publication aims to provide stakeholders (e.g. site owners, regulators, consultants/contractors, developers and financiers) with an awareness and understanding of the benefits that MNA brings to contaminated land management. Research projects at the SIReN site that helped to demonstrate the technical feasibility of this approach are also outlined.

SB 03 - Coal Mine Sites for Targeted Remediation Research:- The CoSTaR Initiative (2006)

The purpose of this bulletin is to describe each of the six sites that comprise the Coal Mine Sites for Targeted Remediation Research (CoSTaR) facility in northeast England. 

CoSTaR comprises a 'constellation' of six established mine water remediation sites which have been selected to provide at least one example of each of the principal types of passive systems currently used to treat polluted mine waters at numerous sites in North America and Europe:
Aerobic reed beds treating non-acidic waters with high iron contents; compost wetlands treating acidic waters; Reducing and Alkalinity Producing System (RAPS); permeable reactive barrier; and hybrid active / passive system.
